$116,000 missing and we are urged to contribute as usual! Like nothing happened. What do the Mayor and the Chairman of the Friends of the Library have to say to restore our confidence in this group. What precaution and procedures have been implemented to prevent this fraud from reoccuring?

I agree completely with dadoftwo on both suggestions. I could not fathom why a simple 1% raise in the sales tax hasn't been mentioned. That tax is not regressive like the gas tax is. The middle class and poor have to drive,sometimes great distances to work. The rich can afford to be taxed on their luxury item purchases( boats, luxury autos, jewelry,etc.). Great idea, dadoftwo!
